The process that breaks our body down and eventually causes sickness is called oxidation. Oxidation leads to inflammation and free radical formation. If you read about the chemical reactions that cause cancer, cardiovascular disease, dementia, autoimmune disease, and even just normal aging, they are all similar. They all involve oxidation. We call these reactions the “Engines of Chronic Disease.”
